Matrix Reloaded-Revolutions
Shadow Script Part 11

MORPHEUS takes over RAZORS seat. The scrolling code disappears, replaced by the small words: ZION.dtr1.mnfr4m3 LOGON.

MORPHEUS pushes the keyboard under the console so its hidden from view. He taps at the keyboard. Hidden password appears on the screen in the form of: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

SCREEN: LOGON ACCEPTED. WELCOME, MORPHEUS.

MISSION SPECS DOWNLOADING...

DOWNLOADED

LOGOUT COMPLETE

MISSION TYPE: INFILTRATION / DESTRUCTION

TARGET: MATRIX MAINFRAME

MORPHEUS' eyes open slightly when he reads the screen, but he regains his composure quickly. RAZOR'S mouth drops open, and CHOI starts cracking up.

CHOI

"The mainframe? Haha. It's a joke, right Morpheus? Is today April 1st?"

NIOBE appears behind them.

NIOBE

"It's not a joke. We have The One. We must do it now."

RAZOR

"But they're altering the code already. I can't even read it yet."

MORPHEUS turns and faces them.

MORPHEUS

"We have our mission, but it's up to us to interperate how we'll do it."

RAZOR

"Morpheus, there's more ice in front of that mainframe than there is in Antarctica. We'll never cut through it all."

MORPHEUS

"You haven't seen The One in action."

RAZOR looks dubious, and turns to the screens.

MORPHEUS

"Can you hack in?"

RAZOR pounds the keys. The Matrix disappears, replaced by his program.

RAZOR

"Getting you in is no problem. Maintaining the input/output and helping you is the problem. That's how they killed savior number four, if I remember right. They cut the signal and trapped him in there."

MORPHEUS spins the chair, then stops it. Their faces are inches apart.

MORPHEUS

"We don't speak of the past."

RAZOR

"Excuse me for dragging up painful memories, sir."

HE turns the chair back to the screen and continues coding.

CUT TO: NEO

He's standing at the edge of some equipment on the Main Deck. He's heard every word. He rounds the corner. The others catch sight of him. The same thought is on everyone's mind: How much had he heard.

MORPHEUS

"Morning. Niobe, wake the rest of the crew. Razor, what's the ETA for getting us in there?"

RAZOR shakes his head.

RAZOR

"I dunno. Just gimme an hour, I'll probably have caught up to them."

Biofeedback: Hook yourself up with your PC

MORPHEUS walks up to NEO.

MORPHEUS

"Come with me."

CUT TO:

DESERT (DAY)

FROM FAR AWAY, we see GREGORY and CHANDRA hiding under the only bit of shade available for miles, a tiny outcropping of rock. We sail in and cut to a panning shot, scanning over the harsh ground, onto CHANDRA'S feet, clad in Gregory's boots, up her sun-scorched and scratched legs. She's collapsed onto Gregory. He's in equally bad shape. Gregory leans with his back against the rock, eyes opening and closing as he drifts in and out of sleep.

GREGORY POV

He stars at the horizon and the mirages of water reflecting the jaundiced yellow sky. In the shimmering distance, a man appears, but Gregory's lids shut and we see darkness. When he reopens them, the figure is more clear. It's a man, dressed in a black suit. Even in the distance we can recognize him. We want it to be him.

EXT. DESERT ROCK

GREGORY can barely come to his senses as the figure approaches. CHANDRA doesn't even wake.

EXT. DESERT

We follow the figure at waist heigh as it approaches GREGORY. It comes to a stop just in front of him.

EXT. DESERT ROCK

GREGORY is fully awake, but he thinks he's dreaming. He reaches out and pokes the black-clad leg of the immaculate man standing before him - a man who doesn't sweat even in the sauna heat. He looks up, but the glaring sun obscures the face.

GREGORY's voice is raspy as he starts to speak.

GREGORY

"Oh my God. It's… The Man."

MAN IN BLACK

"I've been searching for you for a long time, my friend."

GREGORY lowers his head.

MAN IN BLACK

"We need you, Gregory."

GREGORY

"What for?"

MAN IN BLACK

"To save our world."

GREGORY'S FACE RAISES, THE MAN IN BLACK eclipses the sun with his head, making a hallo of hazy sunlight around an all-too familiar face: AGENT SMITH.

GREGORY'S head drops back down. He strokes CHANDRA'S hair.

GREGORY

"It's too late. We're dead."

AGENT SMITH

"Do you want to live?"

GREGORY

"What for?"

AGENT SMITH

"A better life for all. Life for her. And for you, a chance for revenge."

GREGORY raises his head.

AGENT SMITH grins. He turns away, and the desert landscape before them turns into a soothing, cool, crystal forest lake. Smith takes a step toward it, then turns and extends his hand.

AGENT SMITH

"Interested?"

GREGORY is mystified. Speechless, he drags himself to his feet, hoisting Chandra, and steps toward the lake.

GREGORY

"This can't be real."
